The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), in cooperation with the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers (The League), served as the Regional Coordinating Center (RCC).
EOHHS is the largest Commonwealth secretariat, with jurisdiction over 16 agencies including oversight of the Medicaid program, Department of Public Health, Department of Health Care Finance and Policy, and is responsible for nearly half of the Commonwealth's $28 billion budget. As a major purchaser and regulator of healthcare, EOHHS is able to exert a strong convening role among public and private stakeholders in the Commonwealth's healthcare system.
Established in 1972, the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers is a nonprofit, statewide association representing and serving the needs of the state's 52 community health centers. The League serves as an information source on community-based healthcare to policymakers, opinion leaders and the media, and provides a wide range of technical assistance to its members and communities, including:
